          I've done several flights over the last few days with a variety of passengers.  I recently flew my brother, Devon, over Lake Winnipeg for some sightseeing before he departed to Toronto for some adventures. A few days later, a group of friends came flying over downtown Winnipeg. On the next flight, my passengers took a few property photos, and earlier today was another downtown adventure with a detour through Beausejour, up past Libau to join the Red River and finally southbound towards home.  The following are just a few of my favorites hand picked from the photos my friends have sent me.  I've left a couple higher quality pictures in for examples of the beauty of these full-sized photographs.

I'll be flying the Cessna 182 hopefully at some point before the weekend, so that aircraft will allow me to travel further, faster, and encourage more variety of scenery.  I'm excited to go to new airports far from home and see what other areas of the country have to offer.
